Bad cops

On Thursday, the United Nations Independent Expert on human rights in Haiti, Michel Forst, expressed concern about the certification/vetting process of the police being used by the Haitian National Police (PNH), with the support of MINUSTAH.

This concern regards thousands of files sent to the Haitian authorities on cases of officers against whom there are numerous credible accusations.

"If it turns out that police officers of any rank are retained in service while they are under review for serious charges, we may doubt the willingness of authorities to remove unwanted elements of the PNH," Michel Forst said.

We should get a nice country like Canada to send some well-respected police force to help train the PNH. Oh, no. Wait.
